Legion Profession and Reputation Guides

Legion is right around the corner, and as we get ready for the Broken Isles, we're putting the finishing touches on some new guides. Here is a look at our Legion Profession and Reputation guides! Thank you to all of our users who have contributed guides, comments, screenshots, and videos for this content.\r\rProfession Guides\rProfessions in Legion emphasize the fantasy of a crafter, traveling around the world to discover new recipes. Each Legion profession has an elaborate questline sending the player to a number of outdoor zones and dungeons to learn core recipes. For example, the Dalaran Alchemy Lab is completely destroyed and you must travel around the world to repair and replace each piece of equipment. A special thanks to varenne for detailed profession quest comments and videos left on all the database pages!\r\rLegion Recipes have ranks, allowing you to use less materials to craft the same item as you progress. All of these ranks are from different places, ranging from vendors to bosses, so collecting is a fun mini-game. In addition, professions have more longevity through the Sangre de Sargeras\/Obliterum system. You can destroy any crafted item to get some Obliterum (or smaller pieces of Ash). Use 2 Sangre de Sargeras to fuse Obliterum onto a piece of gear; this will increase the ilvl of your crafted armor by +5, up to ilvl 850.\r\rLegion Professions Overview\rAcquiring and Spending Blood of Sargeras and Obliterum\rLegion Alchemy\rLegion Archaeology\rLegion Blacksmithing\rLegion Cooking\rLegion Enchanting\rLegion Engineering\rLegion Herbalism\rLegion Inscription\rLegion Jewelcrafting\rLegion Leatherworking\rLegion Mining\rLegion Skinning\rLegion Tailoring\r\rThank you to our dedicated Anglers thideras and madseasonshow for your Fishing guides!\rLegion Fishing Guide\rThe Underlight Angler, a Step by Step Guide\rThe Legion Fishing Artifact, Underlight Angler\r\rReputation Guides\rReputation is less grindy than Warlords of Draenor; much of your reputation will be earned by completing the story quests for each zone while leveling and then completing max-level World Quests.\r\rFriendly with all factions save Wardens is required for Unir las Islas which unlocks World Quests; Revered with all six factions is required for Diplomático de las Islas Abruptas which is needed for Abrecaminos de las Islas Abruptas, 1.ª parte.\r\rAll factions have some gear, toys, pets, and recipes to purchase. A few factions have additional flair: Nightfallen reputation is required for Arcway and Court of Stars dungeon attunement, Dreamweavers has two tabards that require reputation, and Highmountain sells fun totem accessories. Reputations are also required for a few hidden artifact appearance items: Vara del Ascendido, Notas de Syriel Cascadacrecida: Guardacuervos, Semilla de fuego solar.\r\rLegion Reputation Overview\rThe Nightfallen\rValarjar\rThe Wardens\rDreamweavers\rHighmountain Tribe\rCourt of Farondis

Mounts? so we won't get a new mount from any faction?

"You can destroy any crafted item, or convert 2 Blood of Sargeras, to get some Obliterum, which in turn is used to increase the ilvl of your crafted armor by +5, up to ilvl 850."\r\rThis information is incorrect\/improperly worded. You do not "convert" BoS to get Obliterum. You only get Obliterum from breaking down crafted gear. The 2 BoS are used to apply a Obliterum to a piece a gear.

Mounts? so we won't get a new mount from any faction?\r\rThere are a few mounts from professions, and one tied to a World Quest Emissary cache, but none from reputation so far.

Link to the first Underlight Angler guide appears to be broken, @perculia.

Edit: working now!

I don't see the Kirin Tor Emissary quests on here, its relevant because after you complete all 4, you can choose any Reputation Token to gain more rep with. I believe Kirin Tor's Nightfallen rep is less than the other reps (500 Nightfallen?, 1k others?) but there isn't much out for rep besides Nightfallen emissary quests (rare), Nightfallen WQ, talking to the 3 NPCs, and the Withered Army training to gain more rep with Nightfallen (1 hour or less for all this). So i used the Kirin Tor Rep token to get boosted with Nightfallen faster when I was at a plateau with Nighfallen rep and quests.

What happened to First Aid?

What happened to First Aid?\r\rFirst aid is a small profession and we have decided not to create guides for it in the past. The Legion Profession overview highlights the few things First Aid has.

I know we need profession skill 300 to access World quests. But how about Rank 2\/3 recipes? Can we get those at Skill level 300 too? What is the disadvantage of having a profession to 300 than having it 700+ ?\r\rThanks in advance

So after 3 expansions(wrath\/cata\/mists) where having 2 non-gathering professions was encouraged by perks, and 1 expansion where gathering professions were mostly useless(WoD) blizz decides to make gathering professions almost required due the a BoP crafting material(which we have always hated and will always hate) that mostly commonly comes from gathering professions. We dont want to give up our dual crafting professions. $%^& you blizz, you have no idea how your customers play your game.

Sorry but I'm not a fan of the way they are doing reputation in Legion. \rIts only supposed to take 2 and a half zones to hit 110. Then you need to grind out Suramar at 110 to get the Nightfallen rep. Ok fine but what if (as someone who isn't a big fan of leveling) I don't want to needlessly level in all 4 zones and then do more of it in Suramar at max level just to make sure i have all reps to be eligible to do world quests! Which in turn is needed in order to get flying at a later stage....\r\rIf Blizzard wanted to make sure we had to do all 5 zones then why didn't they just make 100 - 110 take 5 zones of XP? Despite what the article says - this does feel grindy to me.\r\rI certainly wont be doing a second or third time on alts either....

The frustration for me is that I have collected recipes\/patterns\/plans\/etc. that are no longer available. So if I switch one of my 2 crafting professions on my main to another profession (gathering) I lose those recipes forever

So much info, very detailed! Plenty to read and learn for when Legion drops! I hope professions stay relevant and the quest lines aren't too hard!

I "have" to do it otherwise you can not do some of the world quests or get flying. I'm simply pointing out that its badly constructed part of the game. Nothing to do with being toxic. I have given constructive feedback on the forums for this too. One of the many complaints of WoD was the grindy nature of reputation... does it not seem a mistake to repeat that?

I asked this in one of the reputation guides comment sections, but I reckon I'm more likely to get a response here.\r\rIn the reputation guides it is stated that\rKilling bosses in related dungeons awards reputation\r\rDo we know how much reputation they award? And does it apply to all difficulties, or just Heroic and\/or Mythic?
